Two Satyrs Against Travelling: The Arts and the Grand Tour in Peregrine Pickle, Vol. 2, and Tristram Shandy, Vol. 7

Abstract

Comparisons between Tobias Smollett and Laurence Sterne have typically been based on Travels through France and Italy and A Sentimental Journey. Here, the travel sections of Peregrine Pickle and Tristram Shandy inform a comparative discussion of both authors’ differing pursuit of continental travel as aesthetic experience and their satirical reworking of contemporary Grand Tour narratives.
